Piperphenidol is a chemical compound that primarily functions as a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist, often used in the treatment of allergic conditions like rhinitis and urticaria. Its mechanism of action involves blocking histamine receptors, which helps reduce the symptoms of allergic reactions such as itching, swelling, and nasal congestion. Piperphenidol can also have mild sedative effects, as it crosses the blood-brain barrier, although it is less sedating than some other antihistamines.
